Lecture on Spatial Point Pattern Analysis
Spatial point patterns can be seen through many events and they are not limited to human activities. When there is data captured from a location, it can be considered as a spatial point. Such spatial points help analysts to observe any statistical patterns that are significant. In this context, we will only consider the points to be on isotropic (flat) planes.
Spatial point patterns exist in a Euclidean space which is in a 2-dimensional space. When the arrangement of the points is non-random, there should be underlying factors causing it.
Spatial Point Pattern Analysis Techniques
First-order
- Expected values of spatial point patterns vary across space, like the intensity of spatial point pattern
Kernel Density
Depending on how points you want to capture, the bandwidth can be adjusted, i.e Adaptive bandwidth
When data is sparse, we can consider Fixed bandwidth
Quadrat Analysis
Used more frequently in Ecology
Count the frequency of events in each region thencalculate the intensity of events in each region
Variance-Mean Ratio (VMR)
Uniform distribution, VMR ~ 0
Random distribution, VMR ~ 1
Cluster distribution, VMR > 1
Second-order
Covariance and correlation between spatial points of different regions
Measured using G, K and L function.
Nearest Neighbour Index (NNI)
Random distribution when Mean Distance ~ 1
Clustered distribution when Mean Distance ~ 0
Uniformed distribution when Mean Distance > 1
1st Order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis
spatstat is an open-source toolbox for analysing spatial point patterns.
Using Singapore’s childcare centres, we are curious about:
whether childcare centres in Singapore are randomly distributed throughout the country?
if not, the succeeding question is where are the locations with higher concentration of childcare centres?
Preparation
Packages
Let’s use pacman() to first load the packages we will need to use. We require:
sf to import and process vector geospatial data
tmap to plot high quality (interactive) maps
maptools for manipulating geographic data
spatstat for point pattern analysis
raster to read, write, manipulate, analyse and model gridded spatial data (raster)
tidyverse for data transformation
maptools has been deprecated so,
pacman::p_load(sf, tmap, spatstat, raster,sp, maptools, tidyverse)Data
| Name | Source |

| Child Care Location (geojson) | data.gov.sg |
| Master Plan 2014 Subzone Boundary (Web) | data.gov.sg |

Spatial Data Wrangling
Importing Spatial Data
Geospatial data will be imported using *st_read()* from the sf package.
childcare_sf <- st_read(dsn = "data/geospatial/ChildCareServices.geojson") %>% st_transform(crs=3414)Reading layer `ChildCareServices' from data source

Coverting the Spatial* Class into Generic sp Format
spstat requires the analytical data to be in ppp object form. As there is no direct method to convert Spatial* classes to ppp object, we need to convert the Spatial* classes into an intermediate Spatial object first.
Convert Spatial* Classes into generic sp objects.
childcare_sp <- as(childcare, "SpatialPoints")
sg_sp <- as(sg, "SpatialPolygons")Check the sp object properties,
childcare_spclass : SpatialPoints

The variables, names, min and max values are omitted from the sp object but present in Spatial* Classes.
Converting Generic sf Format into spatstat’s ppp Format
Let’s use as.ppp() of spatstat to convert the sf into ppp format.
Plot childcare_ppp and examine the difference.
childcare_ppp <- as.ppp(st_coordinates(childcare_sf), st_bbox(childcare_sf))
plot(childcare_ppp)
Summary statistics:
summary(childcare_ppp)Marked planar point pattern: 1925 points

View duplicated point events by plotting.
tmap_mode('view')
tm_shape(childcare) +
tm_dots(alpha = 0.4,
size = 0.05)tmap_mode('plot')There are a few ways to overcome this problem:
Delete the duplicates. However, some useful point events will be lost
jittering. Adds small perturbations to duplicate points so that they do not occupy the same exact space
Make each point “unique” and then attach duplicates of points to the patterns as marks, as attributes of the points. Then we can use analytical techniques that take into account the marks.
Using jittering,
childcare_ppp_jit <- rjitter(childcare_ppp,
retry = TRUE,
nsim = 1,
drop = TRUE)any(duplicated(childcare_ppp_jit))[1] FALSE
Creating owin object
When analysing spatial point patterns, it is good practice to confine the analysis with a geographical area like Singapore boundary. In spatstat, an object called owin is specially designed to represent this polygonal region.
The code chunk below is used to convert the sg simplefeatures object into owin object of spatstat.

First-order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis
First-order SPPA can be performed using spastat package. This section focuses on:
deriving kernel density estimation (KDE) layer for visualising and exploring the inntensity of point processes,
performing Confirmatory Spatial Point Patterns Analysis by using Nearest Neighbour statistics.
Kernel Density Estimation
Computing Kernel Density Estimation using Automatic Bandwidth Selection Method
The code below computes a kernel density by using the following configurations of density() of spatstat:
bw.diggle() automatic bandwidth selection method. Other recommended methods include: bw.CvL, bw.scott(), bw.ppl().
The smoothing kernel used by default is gaussian. Other smoothing methods include: epanechnikov, quartic or disc
The intensity estimate is corrected for edge effect bias by using the method described by Jones (1993) and Diggle (2010). The default is FALSE.
kde_childcareSG_bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)
The density values of the output range is too small for us to derive any practical insights. The output range is due to the default unit of measurement of svy21 being in meter. As such, the density values computed is in “number of points per square meter”.
We can check the bandwidth used to compute the kde layer by using the following code:
bw <- bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp)
bw sigma
295.4419
Rescaling KDE values
The function rescale() is used to convert the unit of measurement from metres to kilometres.
childcareSG_ppp.km <- rescale(childcareSG_ppp, 1000, "km")Now re-run density() using the resale data set and plot the output kde map.
kde_childcareSG.bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma=bw.diggle, edge=TRUE, kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw)
- Now the data values are better and more readible and comprehensible.
Working with different automatic bandwidth methods
Besides bw.diggle(), there are three other spatstat functions can be used to determine the bandwidth, they are: bw.CvL(), bw.scott(), and bw.ppl().
bw.CvL(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
4.54311
bw.scott(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma.x sigma.y
2.159749 1.396455
bw.ppl(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.3897017
bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.2954419
Baddeley et al. (2016) suggested the use of bw.ppl() algorithm because in their experience, the algorithm tends to produce the more appropriate values when the pattern consists predominantly tight clusters. However, they also insist that if the purpose is to detect a single tight cluster in the midst of random noise then bw.diggle() is the best.
Comparing the output of using bw.diggle and bw.ppl methods,
kde_childcareSG.ppl <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.ppl,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main = "bw.diggle")
plot(kde_childcareSG.ppl, main = "bw.ppl")
Working with different kernel methods
The default kernel method used in density.ppp() is gaussian. There are other options, namely epanechnikov, quartic and dics.
The code chunk below will be used to compute three more kernel density estimations by using these three kernel functions.
par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
par(mar = c(3, 3, 2, 1)) # adjust the margin values to resolve margin issue
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, kernel = "gaussian"), main = "Gaussian")
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, kernel = "epanechnikov"), main = "Epanechnikov")
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, kernel = "quartic"), main = "Quartic")
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, kernel = "disc"), main = "Disc")
Fixed and Adaptive KDE
Computing KDE by using fixed bandwidth
Compute a KDE layer by defining a bandwidth of 600m. The sigma value depends on the unit of measurement in the kde variable. In our case, childcareSG_ppp.km object is in kilometres, hence, 600m will be 0.6km.
kde_childcareSG_600 <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma=0.6, edge=TRUE, kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_600)
Computing KDE by using adaptive bandwidth
Fixed bandwidth method is very sensitive to highly skew distribution of spatial point patterns over geographical units for example urban versus rural. One way to overcome this problem is by using adaptive bandwidth instead.
This section derive s the adaptive kernel density estimation by using density.adaptive() of spatstat.
kde_childcareSG_adaptive <- adaptive.density(childcareSG_ppp.km, method="kernel")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive)
Compare the fixed and adaptive kernel density estimation outputs by using the following code chunk,
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main = "Fixed bandwidth")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive, main = "Adaptive bandwidth")
Computing KDE by using adaptive bandwidth
Fixed bandwidth method is very sensitive to highly skew distribution of spatial point patterns over geological units, i.e. urban vs rural. One way to overcome this problem is by using adaptive bandwidth instead.
This section focuses on how to derive adaptive kernel density estimation by using density.adaptive() of spatstat.
kde_childcareSG_adaptive <- adaptive.density(childcareSG_ppp.km, method="kernel")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive) 
Compare the fixed and adaptive kernel density estimation outputs,
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main = "Fixed bandwidth")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive, main = "Adaptive bandwidth")
Converting KDE output into grid object
Convert the result into grid object such that it is suitable for mapping purposes.
# to solve "could not find function "as.SpatialGridDataFrame.im""
#install.packages("spatial")
#install.packages("sp")# to solve "could not find function "as.SpatialGridDataFrame.im""
library(spatial)
library(sp)# Debugging: check if object class is im
if ("im" %in% class(kde_childcareSG.bw)) {
print("The object is of class 'im'")
} else {
print("The object is not of class 'im'")
}[1] "The object is of class 'im'"
gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw <- as(kde_childcareSG.bw, "SpatialGridDataFrame")
spplot(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)
Converting Gridded Output into Raster
Next, do the conversion by using raster() from the raster package.
kde_childcareSG_bw_raster <- raster(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)Then observe the properties of the raster layer,
kde_childcareSG_bw_rasterclass : RasterLayer
dimensions : 128, 128, 16384 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.419757, 0.2695907 (x, y)
extent : 2.667538, 56.39644, 15.74872, 50.25633 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
crs : NA
source : memory
names : v
values : -1.293897e-14, 37.27443 (min, max)
- A raster layer does not have any CRS property, thus its value is NA after the grid (vector) is rasterised.
Assigning projection systems
The code below will be used to include CRS information
projection(kde_childcareSG_bw_raster) <- CRS("+init=EPSG:3414")
kde_childcareSG_bw_rasterclass : RasterLayer
dimensions : 128, 128, 16384 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.419757, 0.2695907 (x, y)
extent : 2.667538, 56.39644, 15.74872, 50.25633 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
crs : +proj=tmerc +lat_0=1.36666666666667 +lon_0=103.833333333333 +k=1 +x_0=28001.642 +y_0=38744.572 +ellps=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs
source : memory
names : v
values : -1.293897e-14, 37.27443 (min, max)
Visualising tmap output
Finally, we can display the raster in cartographic quality map using tmap package.
tm_shape(kde_childcareSG_bw_raster) +
tm_raster("v") +
tm_layout(legend.position = c("right", "bottom"), frame = FALSE)
- Note that the raster values are encoded explicitly onto the raster pixel using the values in the “v” field.
Comparing Spatial Point Patterns using KDE
Here, we will compare the KDE of childcare centres at various planning areas.
Extracting Study Areas Let’s categorise and extract the planning areas of interest.
pg <- mpsz_sf %>%
filter(PLN_AREA_N == "PUNGGOL")
tm <- mpsz_sf %>%
filter(PLN_AREA_N == "TAMPINES")
ck <- mpsz_sf %>%
filter(PLN_AREA_N == "CHOA CHU KANG")
jw <- mpsz_sf %>%
filter(PLN_AREA_N == "JURONG WEST")Then plot the planning areas.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
par(mar = c(3,3,2,1))
plot(pg, main = "Punggol")
plot(tm, main = "Tampines")
plot(ck, main = "Choa Chu Kang")
plot(jw, main = "Jurong West")
Creating owin object
Now, we will convert the SpatialPolygons objects into owin objects required by spatstat.
pg_owin <- as.owin(pg)
tm_owin <- as.owin(tm)
ck_owin <- as.owin(ck)
jw_owin <- as.owin(jw)Combining childcare points and the study area
Extract the childcare centre points within each of the study planning areas.
childcare_pg_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[pg_owin]
childcare_tm_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[tm_owin]
childcare_ck_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[ck_owin]
childcare_jw_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[jw_owin]Then use rescale() to transform the unit of measurement from metre to kilometre.
childcare_pg_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_pg_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_tm_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_tm_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_ck_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_ck_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_jw_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_jw_ppp, 1000, "km")Then plot the four study areas together with their childcare centres.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
par(mar = c(3,3,2,1))
plot(childcare_pg_ppp.km, main="Punggol")
plot(childcare_tm_ppp.km, main="Tampines")
plot(childcare_ck_ppp.km, main="Choa Chu Kang")
plot(childcare_jw_ppp.km, main="Jurong West")
Computing KDE
The code chunk below is used to compute the KDE of the four planning areas. bw.diggle is used to derive the bandwidth of each planning area.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
par(mar = c(3,3,2,1))
plot(density(childcare_pg_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Punggol")
plot(density(childcare_tm_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Tempines")
plot(density(childcare_ck_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Choa Chu Kang")
plot(density(childcare_jw_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Jurong West")
Computing fixed bandwidth KDE
For comparison purposes, let’s use 250m as the bandwidth
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
par(mar = c(3,3,2,1))
plot(density(childcare_ck_ppp.km,
sigma=0.25,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Chou Chu Kang")
plot(density(childcare_jw_ppp.km,
sigma=0.25,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="JUrong West")
plot(density(childcare_pg_ppp.km,
sigma=0.25,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Punggol")
plot(density(childcare_tm_ppp.km,
sigma=0.25,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Tampines")
Nearest Neighbour Analysis
In this section, we will perform the Clark-Evans test of aggregation for a spatial point pattern by using clarkevans.test() of statspat at 95% confidence interval.
The test hypotheses are: - H0: The distribution of childcare services are randomly distributed. - H1: The distribution of childcare services are not randomly distributed.
Testing Spatial Point Patterns using Clark and Evans Test
clarkevans.test(childcareSG_ppp,
correction="none",
clipregion="sg_owin",
alternative=c("clustered"),
nsim=99)
Clark-Evans test
No edge correction
Z-test
data: childcareSG_ppp
R = 0.49534, p-value < 2.2e-16
alternative hypothesis: clustered (R < 1)
As P < 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that the childcare services are randomly distributed.
Clark and Evans Test: Choa Chu Kang planning area
clarkevans.test(childcare_ck_ppp,
correction="none",
clipregion=NULL,
alternative=c("two.sided"),
nsim=999)
Clark-Evans test
No edge correction
Z-test
data: childcare_ck_ppp
R = 0.90078, p-value = 0.1025
alternative hypothesis: two-sided
As P > 0.05, we cannot reject the null hypothesis that the childcare services are randomly distributed in Choa Chu Kang.
Clark and Evans Test: Tampines planning area
clarkevans.test(childcare_tm_ppp,
correction="none",
clipregion=NULL,
alternative=c("two.sided"),
nsim=999)
Clark-Evans test
No edge correction
Z-test
data: childcare_tm_ppp
R = 0.68438, p-value = 6.532e-11
alternative hypothesis: two-sided
As P < 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that the childcare services are randomly distributed.
We can infer from the R value (Nearest Neighbour Index) that since R = 0.69037 < 1, the pattern exhibits clustering in Tampines.
Second-order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis
Analysing Spatial Point Process Using G-Function
The G function measures the distribution of the distances from an arbitrary event to its nearest event. This section focuses on how to compute G-function estimation using Gest() of spatstat package. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulation test will be performed using envelope() of spatstat package
Choa Chu Kang planning area
Computing G-function estimation
The code chunk below is used to comput G-function using Gest() of spastat package
G_CK = Gest(childcare_ck_ppp, correction = "border")
plot(G_CK, xlim=c(0,500))
Performing Complete Spatial Randomness Test
H0: The distribution of childcare services at Choa Chu Kang are randomly distributed.
H1: The distribution of childcare services at Choa Chu Kang are not randomly distributed.
The null hypothesis will be rejected if p-value is smaller than alpha value of 0.001.
